Walking the Halls

Sarah is officially done with school!  She got to do something fun today that we weren’t aware of, she got to walk the halls of her former grade school in her cap and gown.  We just found out about it as a fluke, which kind of makes me mad.  I think it would have been fun to see her do that.  Luckily a friend knew it was happening and took a bunch of pictures.

I don’t know who started it, or when it started, but apparently the graduating seniors don their caps and gowns, and get to go back and see the teachers that they started with and walk thru the halls while the little kids applaud and give them high fives, etc.  I thought it was a great idea.  It lets the kids go back and visit some of the teachers that helped shape them and also give the little kids some encouragement that one day they will get to do it as well.  I know there are a lot of teachers at Riverside that Sarah had who are still there teaching.  And we did a lot with the school as far as parent involvement, from fundraisers to PTA, so hopefully they all remember Sarah.  By the time she got to fifth grade she was a pretty active student at Riverside, so I hope they are all proud of how she turned out!
